People’s reaction over vehicle chase incident?
Layla Skyy commented,
High-speed chases should be banned. The criminals need to be caught, but not at the expense of an innocent person’s life. RIP.

This is getting out of hand! Yes, criminals shouldn’t run, it may not be the police’s fault, but I’m sure no one wants a knock on their door saying we were in a chase and your innocent loved one was killed. So sad it’s time for some discussions on the safety of others

Krystal Long commented,
It’s sickening that the police would even chase someone over a traffic violation and put innocent lives in danger. Well at this point killing them. So sad. Prayers for her kids and family
Anthony C Fulmer commented,
This ticks me off! Another innocent person was murdered by someone refusing to stop for the police! Just put him 6 feet under!
Daniel Gainey said,
It’s time that deadly force become justified anytime a pursuit occurs. The suspect is threatening deadly force (3000 lb vehicle) to the public and is in extreme danger. The minute a suspect runs into a car, the police should be justified in using deadly force immediately against the suspect. I bet that would stop this nonsense. Prayers for the innocent victim’s family.
